Tips for the photographer
This route is recommended at sunrise and early morning to take advantage of the beautiful morning light. In around 15 minutes, you'll arrive at an unobstructed view of the valley, with the majestic Pointe de Chalune, the Chalet Blanc and, on your right, the Roc d'Enfer and Pointe d'Uble against the light. A wide-angle lens is required. At the end of the afternoon, the alpine meadow turns to shade. However, the view of the Mont Blanc range, the Pointe d'Uble and the Roc d'Enfer makes for great photos.
Guidebook with maps/step-by-step
Take the footpath near the Col de la Ramaz. The path leads up towards the majestic Pointe de Chalune, one of the highest points of the territory. You'll be leaving Chalet Blanc behind you to your right. Then go to the left towards the Col de Vesinaz and take the footpath on the left that leads back to the departure point via a beautiful meadow at the foot of the Pointe de Chavasse. Possible to carry on to the Pointe de Chavasse along a quite challenging track very close to the ridge.
Open period
From 15/05 to 15/11. Subject to favorable snow and weather conditions.
